How long does decking installation take?

The time needed depends on the size and complexity of the project, as well as the materials used. A small or standard garden deck can usually be installed in two to four days, while larger or custom designs may take a week or more. Ask your decking installer to give an estimate of the time it will take to complete the job.

What materials can I choose for my decking?

Decking can be made from a variety of materials, including timber, composite, and PVC. Timber offers a natural look, while composite and PVC options provide increased durability and low maintenance.

Do I need planning permission for decking?

In most cases, decking projects do not require planning permission. However, permission may be needed if your deck is raised over 30 cm, covers more than half your garden, or is part of a listed property. Always check local planning guidelines before starting work.

How should I maintain my decking?

To keep your decking in top condition, clean it regularly to remove dirt and debris, and check for signs of rot or loose boards. Timber decking may need staining or treatment once a year, while composite and PVC decks require only occasional washing.

Can decking installers near me remove old decking or patios?

Yes, most decking installers can remove existing decking or patio structures before fitting a new one. This is typically included in the quote, but it’s best to confirm during your initial discussion.

What factors influence the cost of decking installation?

Costs depend on the type of materials, size of the deck, access to your outdoor space, and any custom features such as railings, steps, or seating areas. Providing detailed project information will help installers give accurate quotes.

Do decking installers handle lighting or electrical work?

Some decking professionals can install basic outdoor lighting as part of the build, but for complex electrical work, they may partner with a certified electrician near you to ensure safety and compliance with regulations.

Darren came round on a Saturday morning and fitted the TV bracket into a tricky wall material that he had not come across before. It was a clean polite install, had floor coverings down and bought his own hoover to clear up after himself. Will be having him back for other jobs, thanks.

We hired Cheney Construction to build our 2 storey side extension with gable end. Throughout the project so far Ross has communicated well and acted professionally. If we have any questions or problems he is always available to discuss our options and give us advice. He is trustworthy, knowledgeable and very positive - he always has a smile on his face! So far the project has remained on budget and Ross has been mindful of our tight budget throughout. This is very much appreciated. He has a good team of trades people behind him to get the job done in a timely manner. We are currently living in our house whilst the work is being done. Ross and his team have managed to allow this to happen with minimal interruption to our day-to-day routines. We are really pleased with our extension so far and can’t wait to start using it soon! We wouldn’t hesitate to use Ross and his team again in the future for other work and would definitely recommend.
